Damien Hirst
British • b. 1965
Biography
There is no other contemporary artist as maverick to the art market as Damien Hirst. Foremost among the Young British Artists (YBAs), a group of provocative artists who graduated from Goldsmiths, University of London in the late 1980s, Hirst ascended to stardom by making objects that shocked and appalled, and that possessed conceptual depth in both profound and prankish ways.
Regarded as Britain's most notorious living artist, Hirst has studded human skulls in diamonds and submerged sharks, sheep and other dead animals in custom vitrines of formaldehyde. In tandem with Cheyenne Westphal, now Chairman of Phillips, Hirst controversially staged an entire exhibition directly for auction with 2008's "Beautiful Inside My Head Forever," which collectively totalled £111 million ($198 million).
Hirst remains genre-defying and creates everything from sculpture, prints, works on paper and paintings to installation and objects. Another of his most celebrated series, the 'Pill Cabinets' present rows of intricate pills, cast individually in metal, plaster and resin, in sterilized glass and steel containers; Phillips New York showed the largest of these pieces ever exhibited in the United States, The Void, 2000, in May 2017.
Insights
Hirst's auction record for a single piece is The Golden Calf, which in 2008 sold for £10.3 million.
331 of Hirst's "Spot" paintings (of neatly colored dots) were exhibited at 11 Gagosian galleries in 8 cities across 3 continents.
His decade-in-the-making work, Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable, is a collection of near 200 "found" objects from a fictional shipwreck that debuted for the 2017 Venice Biennale at the Punta della Dogana and Palazzo Grassi museums.
"You need a big ego to be an artist."
